AshleyFilling the room with an electric atmosphere, the DDW hotel in Los Angeles buzzed with the presence of wealthy individuals. Damien Albrecht's grand party for the opening of their new company was the talk of the town.Damien Albrecht, the supposed heir to the Albrecht group and the world's youngest billionaire, was known for his involvement in various businesses, including rumors of drug dealings and leading a small mafia group. His name alone struck fear into the hearts of those who dared to cross his path. The mere mention of his name sent shivers down the spine. A human with no heart, a heartless, ferocious demon, and a nightmare to whoever obstructs his way at least that was how the rumors described him to be. Although I had only seen him through the media, Damien Albrecht had become my ideal man. Despite the rumors surrounding his dark and mysterious reputation, I couldn't help but feel excited about the prospect of seeing him in person. My anticipation grew as I hugged mys

The early morning sun from outside hits my face through the open window, I groan and shift into the soft mattress. My whole body hurts as if someone has battered it to pieces while my head spins. It takes me a few minutes to blink open my eyes and stare straight at the ceiling in complete confusion. Where am I? That was the first question that echoes in my head. And just then events of last night started flashing through my mind as I struggled to get up and that's when I realized that I was completely naked. Whitish sticky in between my legs with undeniable soreness. Panic instant coursed through my body my whole life starting to revolve in my life. Tears stream down my face as the harsh reality sinks in. I close my eyes, hoping against hope that this is just a terrible dream. But when I open my eyes again , the white walls of the room remind me that it’s all too real. I can't bear to look at the man lying next to me, afraid that it will only reopen the wounds. But as he stirs a

As I pushed the door open, a chilling silence enveloped the room. The atmosphere felt eerie and ominous, causing a shiver to run down my spine. The atmosphere in Daniel Harlow's house has never been this tense. I could feel the tension hanging in the air like a heavy cloud, even more intense than when he had brought his side chick, who happened to be Olivia's mother, into the picture. As I walked further into the lounge, the thick tension in the air became even more palpable. My eyes locked onto a towering figure seated on the couch with a deep frown across his face. “Fa…. ther,” I sputtered, my voice trembling but as soon as my eyes met his sharp gaze, my words immediately caught in my throat, leaving me feeling completely thrown off. The amount of anger in his eyes was enough to silence me. “How could you after everything I have done for you? How could you, Ashley?!” He yelled out in rage. He has never addressed me by my full name before, this is actually the first time that I

I could feel my father’s rage radiating from his face as our eyes locked, instantly, I tore my gaze away, feeling a wave of nervousness wash over me. Chewing nervously on my bottom lips, I couldn't help but acknowledge that I was in a complete mess right now. “Yeah, we did have a great day,” the man said to my father, earning a nod from him. His gaze was still fixed on me, and the man’s cold eyes darted from my father back to me before adding. “ Whatever that is in that contract stays like that.” And with that one word, he walked away with the other men. I can see the hurt in my father's eyes but before I could react, his next word threw me off the edge. “Go pack up your things, you will be getting married tomorrow to Damien Albrecht.” I shuddered again at his words, Damien Albrecht…..! There was a dead silence in the air, a silence that traveled all the way to my wounded heart. The calmness did nothing to the blood drumming heavily in my ear at the unexpected news. I couldn

It was already morning and the cold winter breeze in Los Angeles serves as a gentle reminder that Christmas is fast approaching. The holiday spirit fills the air as people prepare for the joyous festivities ahead. The squirting sounds of the squirrels hopping from one cinnamon tree to another fill the air, but their discordant melody is nothing compared to the pain that weighs heavily on my heart. The dissonance of nature mirrors the turmoil within.I stood in the middle of my room, gazing at my reflection, adorned in a breathtaking ensemble for my wedding with Damien. I couldn't deny that I looked stunning, but deep down, this wasn't the marriage I had envisioned. It pained me to think that my special day would be overshadowed by sorrow and heartache.Margaret has worked her magic, skillfully concealing the dark circles under my eyes with layers of foundation and makeup, transforming my face into a stunning sight. One would think I should be overjoyed, right? But despite the outward

I looked at my father, my gaze pleading for him to take back his word and stop this marriage from happening. He wasn't even looking at us, and I knew one thing... I just need to face the reality, he has made up his mind. Inhaling sharply, I stared back at the man in front of me with so much anger and pain. "I... do," the word trembled out of my lips. It takes immense strength to make such a decision in the face of adversity. "Do you, Damien Albrecht, accept Ashley……." "We are done," Damien barked out, shutting the priest who quivered in fear, having him swallow the rest of his words. He gave me a long disgusted look, not bothered to hide his remark. I shrank back a bit under his fierce look, "I think that we're done here, I have to go home with my wife," he snorted, but despite the calmness of his voice, I was able to detect the danger in them. "I, therefore, declare you two husband and wife," the priest proclaimed, sealing our union. The priest had barely a few words to say bu

"I need…… to get my bag," "Sorry, miss, everything you needed is already packed in the car," I instantly snapped my head at the man behind me, shock flashing through my face. Everything I need is already packed….. How? His face was cold but my confused stare had him speak up again, "A servant from your household brought out your bag and is inside the car so Miss if you don't mind we need to go," I took a deep breath as he stepped forward and pulled open the back door for me. My heart raced as I gulped hard and quickly slid inside the car. With a resounding "bam!" he closed the car door and made his way to the other side. He opened the passenger door and smoothly entered the car. The anticipation was palpable as I prepared to embark on this mysterious journey with them.****After five agonizing hours on the road, my butt is seriously hurting, and my stomach is growling like crazy. Finally, we pull up to a building that looks like a hotel...or at least I hope it is. I can't help but

Ashley Time flies and before I knew it it was morning already. I spoke with Sebastian yesterday and he told me that he will be coming with a surprise package. Knock. Knock“I am coming," I shouted and perked Mrs. Catherina in the cheeks and hurried to open the door. “Hey Sebastian," I greeted with a warm smile and he smiled back. “How have you been?" “Just there," I replied, my eyes curiously trailing all over him for any present or anything but he came empty handed. Where is the surprise package?" Hey, you said that you have something that will cheer me up,” I pouted and he laughed while walking in." Yeah, I did," he replied but just then, Mrs. Catherina walked in. “Hey Sebastian." “Wow!" He went in to give her a warm hug, though I noticed they exchanged a strange look. What was that for? I opened my mouth to ask, but Sebastian beat me to it, “So, Ash, how's my little nephew?” He plopped down on the couch, and Mrs. Catherina returned to her cooking, humming a tune in the k

Damien The room is dark, with a smell of alcohol lingering in the air. I sat on the ground with another bottle of alcohol and leaned my head against the wall. It has been four good months that I haven’t seen Ashley. I have tried to reach her, to explain things but it was all a futile mission. She doesn’t want to see me. She had blocked me on all the social media platforms from reaching her. Since her absence, life has been hard and bitter on my side. I had to give up her father’s company and resigned as the owner but still she doesn’t want me. I know I wronged her but I am ready to fix things. To show her the sweet, jovial, and easy going side of me.But I guess it is all too late now. I pulled my hair and took another huge sip from the drink. For the past few months, I have regretted the life I had lived. How I had neglected her. I blamed myself day and night for not being so serious in finding her then after that night.I hated myself more…. More for the constant abuses,

It's been three months since I left Los Angeles, and I must admit, I miss Damien every single day. He's tried every possible way to reach me, bombarding me with countless apologies and calls, desperate to make things right. Yet, despite the ache in my heart, I still yearn for him. But the painful realization runs too deep, and I just can't bring myself to go back to him. My heart and mind are at war, torn between the love I still feel and the hurt I thought I'd never overcome.I felt utterly betrayed, so I blocked Damien on all social media platforms. Since then, the only people I've been in contact with are Sebastian and Jessica. Though I've also heard through the grapevine that Damien has relinquished control of my father's company and resigned as owner. But I couldn't care less, my father is already dead. As I sat on the couch, staring blankly at the TV in front of me, my mind wandered, not even concentrating on the news. When suddenly, the doorbell rang, signaling that someone

AshleyThe airport is full of people leaving and entering from arriving flights. I sat down on the bench there waiting patiently for my flight, when suddenly the airport's public address system crackled to life. The air traffic control personnel announce, their voice echoing through the terminal..."Attention all passengers and airport personnels, due to severe weather conditions, all flight departures are currently suspended. Please check with your airline for further updates and instructions.""What?!" I gasped, shocked. Which weather? I thought, glancing up at the small opening up there to see the sky but to my surprise, it was clear. Not a cloud in sight, no sign of rain or even a hint of turbulence.What are they now talking about? I wasn't the only one perplexed, my fellow passengers exchanged confused glances, and a low murmur and noises started rising and that’s when my phone beeped. I pulled it out from my pocket and it was Sebastian. "Hey, Sebastian," I answered, steppi

amien. Swirling my office chair around, my mind kept drafting to different directions. I won’t deny the fact that I am kind of scared about the abortion that Ashley is about to go through but then again… . I rubbed my face, and let out a deep sigh. What if I lose her? God forbid! I don’t think I will survive that, picking out my phone to dial Ashley’s number when suddenly the door to my office opened and Lucas walked in. "Good evening, boss," he said, but I just raised an eyebrow in response. Noticing my expression, he added, "Someone is here to see you, boss."Someone is here to see me? Who? I am not expecting anyone.“Who?" I asked, eyeing him up suspiciously. He gulped hard and scratched his neck nervously, “I think is best to see him," Him?Giving him a suspicious glare, I leaned back in my chair and nodded for him to let the person in. He nodded and went back to the door. My curiosity widened as the door opened, and I readjust to see the person but to my surprise, Seba

Tears were rushing down my face as I hurried down stairs. All my world seemed to be crumbling before me for real this time. My heart was full of pain, and hurt.I haven’t felt this broken before all through my life. It feels like I am suffocating. I held my chest, feeling a painful tug against my heart. So all the time I have been living with that monster from that very night. He was the reason that my life was full of pain, bruises, suffering and trauma. I was almost downstairs, when a hand suddenly grabbed me from behind and pulled me into an empty corridor in the restaurant. "Ash, please calm down, let's talk," Sebastian whispered urgently beside me. But I shook my head, tears streaming down my face. "No! No!" I exclaimed, my voice cracking. "He broke me!" I wailed, and Sebastian pulled me in a tight, comforting hug. I continued to sob, screaming, and venting all my anger and frustration until exhaustion took over.**** ***** Sitting across the table alone with Sebastian

“And how is this related to the stranger?" I turned to Sebastian but Layla was quick to answer. “I just wanted to tell you how everything happened,” she said, attempting to look pitiful But I am not buying those cheap looks on her face. She had betrayed me, and I wasn't about to forget it. " Then be fast, I don’t have all day,” I snapped, my patience wearing thin. Sebastian patted my hand to calm down. "After I caught them, I threatened to tell you," Layla said, tears streaming down her face. "Honestly, I wanted to tell you, but they used my grandma's condition against me." She sobbed, but I raised an eyebrow at her. "He offered to treat her for free if I kept quiet and went along with their plan. I was devastated...," she trailed off, sniffling. Sebastian handed her a tissue across the table, and she took it, turning to face me. "They threatened to kick my grandma out if I didn't cooperate. You know how much I love her; she's my only living relative. So, I agreed to play a

My ringing tone pulled me out of my sleep, and I yawned, stretching out my hand to grab the phone from the nightstand beside the bed. Again, Damien hadn't slept here last night. My head pounded as I tried to sit up straight in bed. I picked up the call without checking the caller ID and placed the phone to my ear. "Yes?" I sounded drowsy, my voice husky from sleep."Are you just waking up?" Sebastian chuckled from the other end of the line. Startled, I pulled the phone away and checked the caller ID. "Fuck," I hissed under my breath. "It's still morning," I said, yawning. I heard him chuckle again before saying, "When you're done, come to the eatery at Street 10 by the roadside." "Why?" I asked, my curiosity piqued. "It's about our last discussion," he replied. My gaze widened, and I instantly sat up straight in bed, my heart racing."Did you find anything?" I asked, clinging to the duvet in fear. I heard Sebastian sigh before saying, "Just come out, at least by 10 o'clock.
